THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESD. AY, OCTOBER, rege £5/0_ | Large Gains in Production and Trade of Soviet Union Indicated in Amtorg Report of « S t a ¢ | i | preliminary data for the annual *" Progress has been made also in re- PRE-WAR LEVELS FOUND EQUALLED, EVEN SURPASSED BicIndnstryShinmental Are Recorded “Large gains in production and| trade of the Soviet Union are in-| dicated, by the preliminary satistics| for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30,| 1928, the first complete annual| period following the reconstruction | era which terminated .in 1927,” ac- cording to a statement issued yes-| terday by S. G. Bron of the Amtorg Trading Corporation. “Last year, for the first time, the pre-war level of production and trade was at- tained and in many cases surpassed. | “The year 1927-28 ushers in the| era of industrial expansion through new construction,” Bron said “and period just ended indicate a rate of growth by far exceeding expecta- tions. Production of large state in- dustries as a whole, for the first ten months of the year, amounted to 8,15,000,000 rubles in value and was 22 per cent greater than in 1926-27, a wate of increase which was also in excess of the rate for the preced- ing year. In view of the fact that the average annual increase of in- dustrial output in pre-war Russia averaged only 7 per cent, this record | must be considered as a substantial | achievement. Moreover, increased production was attained not through utilizing idle plant capacity, as was largely the case in preceding years, but through new installations and improved methods of production. For the coming year a similar rate of growth is anticipated. Record New Investments. “Over five billion rubles were newly invested during the past year in the various branches of national economy. Of this total industrial and electrification projects received about 30 per cent, transport, 14: per cent, housing in cities 11 per cent, and other municipal undertakings, 18 per cent. “Recent crop estimates show that for the fourth successive year the Soviet Union has gathered a good harvest. Difficulties in grain pro- curements, mentioned in the press, are due not to general crop short- ages but to unfavorable geographic distribution of the crop and to im- perfect, adjustntent of transporta- tion facilities to the rapid growth of industrial centers. It is expected that this year’s grain crop will be somewhat larger than last year’s; flax and cotton are likewise ex- pected to better last year’s yield. ducing the discrepancy between in- dustrial and agricultural prices,/the ‘scissors’ having been brought down from 21 to 17 per cent in the course of the year. Fiscal Revenue Figures. “Reflecting the healthy state of “the national economy of the U. S. S. R., are the figures of fiscal revenue, which amounted to . 5,067,700,000 | rubles for the ten months ending | July 31, 1928, an increase of 23.6 rer cent over the corresponding period of last year. Loans and dis- counts of the principal Soviet banks averaged 3,262,400,000 rubles for the first three-quarters of the year, 51 per cent in excess of last year’s average. “The total foreign trade of the Soviet Union during the first ten months of the year, while changed in character, due to the drop in grain exports, was nevertheless 15 per cent greater than last year. Notable features of ‘the foreign trade for the past year were the considerable expansion of oil exports—exports of 2,174,700 tons for the ten-months’ period being 88 per cent greater than last year and the 90 per cent increase in the imports of industria! equipment, which amounted to 212,- 700,000 rubles for the period. Increase Soviet-U. S. Trade. “The United States, during the past year, strengthened its position in the foreign trade of the U.S.S.R. The turnover of the four Soviet- American trading organizations, the Amtorg Trading Corporation, All-| Russian Textile Syndicate, Centro- soyuz-America and $110,000,000 of which $93,000,000 represents purchases of American equipment and raw materials and $17,000,000 sales of Soviet products here. If imports of furs and man- | ganese by concessionaires and ship- ments to the U.S.S.R. by various other organizations are included we obtain a total of $120,000,000 for Soviet-American trade for the year as compared with $92,600,000 for the fiscal year 1926-1927 and $78,- 800,000 for 1925-1926. “The increase of almost 50 per cent in trade over last year by no means represents the full extent of the growth of the economic rela- tions between the United States and the Soviet Union. Several important ‘invisible’ items must be mentioned in order to complete the picture. These include the several agree- ments for technical cooperation con- cluded with American engineering and manufacturing firms, the addi- tional contracts for Soviet oil en- tered into with the Standard Oil ‘|ing has been arranged at the Work-| Selskosojuz- | America, for the fiscal year was| 4 us Friend of the traction barons, whose greed for profits cost the lives of a score of men and women at the Times Square, on August 24, Mayor James Walker has journied to Washington to attend the sessions of the I.
